How can i take screenshot without text and console?

[wolf74]

As title, how can i do screenshots without text (radio comunication) and engine management console?

[Jaws2002]

I know there's a way to do that, but I don't know exactly how. Was never curious to find out.:)

When I want to take nice screens, i usually record a track of the action and take the screens when I replay the recorded track.

You have many options how to play the tracks. You can slow it down, change views, remove icons and you also have the option to play it without the text and stuf. Is quite easy that way and you can concentrate on the flying and fighting in the mission and concentrate on the screens when you take the screens.

Have fun.:)

Is there...

I think you have to make sure all yer windows are off to do that?..from tracks you can obviously take the screenies too, cockpit off then slow it down to get yer guncam footage :)

Rather than using steam "F12" screenshot... doesnt the game have its own screenshot function... i cant remember if it takes it without the boxes though... too lazy to look :D

yesterday when playing i pressed printscreen button a couple of time only to find an empty screenshot folder afterwards. anybody knows?

Do you have Steam Cloud enabled?

To do this you need to close all the chat windows and/or control windows.

To close the windows, hover over them with the mouse pointer and hit alt+left click that should highlight the window and right clicking should get you an info box that gives you an option to close the window. You can do this for anything on screen. Not to mention, you can customize your windows any way you want.

There was a post on the forums which I can't find any more, that had a really nice window setup with different fonts etc., that could be copy/pasted into the .ini..

Maybe someone else could find it?

For me the easy way is to record a track and when viewing it I check the two options to Hide Icons and Hide Interface. Voila. It is done your screenshot should be nice and clean.

Have a nice game.:-P

do you know what is the key to take a screenshot and why the screenshots folder is always empty :confused: whatever i hit
print or f12

Hi skouras,

The only way I can take a screen shot is by hitting "print screen" and pasted them with MS paint. At least that method has always worked for me. Sadly you can only take one at a time that way.

[Jaws2002]

Assign another key to the Screenshot comand in the game. The game doesn't work right with "Print Screen" after the last patch.
I changed mine to Pause and it works just fine.:grin:

I asked in another thread the similar question of how to get rid of all the texts and the engine console.
I remembered I alt clicked a couple of times and now they were all gone. Great！
But now after taking some screen shots, I wanted them back. But I can't seem to figure out how to do that.
Anybody knows how to bring them back?

Delete the file that remembers you settings, not the config one, the other one that remembers joystick and other settings.
Then have steam validate your game files. it will replace the file you deleted with a default one...
I am sure there must be an easier way, but that is what I would do if I had your problem :)

Lolo' i would learn how the UI works before you go deleting files as suggested.

right click add a window
right click again on "active" window
customise window
drag over what info you require
select said info channel and use the left most section to modify the channel settings
left click on screen to make window "inactive" to mouse control (alt left click to activate any window)

If you give these windows a title bar u can drag and drop it around.

here is my method that requires no file deleting or recreation of an info window yet its nearly hidden.

here my window down at the bottom of the screen, it has everything in it. when i want it i just drag it up into view. you can see the title bar at the bottom alt click this and move infomration window up. etc etc

i believe I tried most what you said yesterday but in the customization dialogue box does not have a lot of things I needed, for example the engine console indications. But i'll try to do it like you said again and if i have any more questions i'll post it here.
thanks you ali!:grin:

Out of interest why dont people want to use the Steam inbuilt screenshot facility with 1gig upload capacity limit ?

surely its easier than copy and pasting one at a time with ms paint.

I did assign a joystick key and use it a lot.

Have a nice game.;)
